SOLVED FPS drops, maybe related to UI?

    Hello,
    I might have a very complicated Problem here.
    Since 2 days my FPS have dropped from 100-120 to 15-30. I have no performance problems in other programs or games. It seems to be related to the UI, or at least it has the biggest impact. The more UI Apps and higher the UI Resolution, the worse it runs. When im in a Menu, Vehicle Config or Options, the game suddenly runs at 100-120 again and everything moves smooth. Problem exists in Vulkan and DirectX. Doesnt matter if im in safe mode or not. I ran the integrity test on steam and then in the Beam Launcher. It showed me some missing dlls so I repaired both visual c++ 2015-2022 that show in Apps and Features and it still showed them missing. I reinstalled the newest version, still doesnt work.
    Some other things I tried were disabling Nvidia Overlay, updating graphics drivers, disabling windows game mode and hardware accelleration, changing graphic settings, deleting user folder, reinstalling the game, run scannow in cmd and doing a virus scan. Nvidia shows a GPU usage of around 95% ingame but task manager shows 30% usage. CPU is at 10%. My computer is good, I have a I9-9900K, 4070, 64GB Ram. My CPU and GPU temps are fine.

    I have no clue what else I could do, I hope someone here may have an idea what it could be.

    Ive managed to get the game kinda playable with turning off ui apps, setting ui resolution to 720p and running the game at only 1080p. After playing for a bit longer the screen freezes, but the game keeps running. In the logs it shows this:

    This video describes it best. You can see it running bad, then running good with the menu open and then crashing.

    I haven't noticed any performance issues with the UI on my PC, but I noticed in your video that you are using the navigation app. In the known issues list, it says that the navigation app may cause performance issues. Have you tried removing all the UI apps (using the UI apps menu) and then testing?
    I found this out a while ago, but when using Vulkan, task manager doesn't report the right GPU usage. The Nvidia overlay seems to show the correct usage though.

    The minimap is not causing the lags. The fps get worse the more UI apps I have open tho. The task manager thing was user error from my side. You can set it to Graphics_1 and it will show the core usage. Its almost always at 100% but I guess thats normal.
